SPECIFICATION forming*A part of Letters Patent No. 248,247, datedOctober I1, 1881.

Application filed January 8, 1881.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, GEORGE L. WirsIL, ofPhiladelphia, Pennsylvania, have invented a novel and useful article ofmanufacture, which I term Sandwiehed Bread,77 of which the following isa specification. l Myinvention relates te the arts of bread making andbaking, and has for its object the provision of a ready-made sandwich,so to 1o speak, in the forni ot' a loaf, slice. or mold of bread chargedthroughout with pieces of meat.

Heretofore, asis well known, sandwiches have been composed of tWo slicesor layers of bread inclosing between them a slice of meat.

My invention consists in a torni of sand ich or bread in which the mea-texists in pieces embedded in the breadthat is to say, commingled orotherwise intimately associated with the dough and baked togethertherewith.

The drawing represents, in perspective, a slice cut from a loaf of thissandwiched bread. A is the dough and B the pieces of meat. Theadvantages incident to the article are that the bread will not getstale, but will retain theavorof-the meat; and while thejuoes of themeat are preserved that its fatt-y matters will pass into and throughoutthe bread, so as to keep the latter moist.

I find thefollowingto beaconvenient method 3o of makingthearticle: Meatcut to pieces ofthe size above described is placed in its raw state withdough, and, by anyprocess of kneading or (No specimens.)

the like, distributed and eominingled through- Y out the dough, unich inthe mannerthatplums, for instance, are distributed throughout a pudding.The charged dough is then shaped by hand or inold to the desired formand baked or otherwise cocked in the usual manner. By the process ot'cooking not only the dough but the meat is suflieiently baked to makethe 4o dough bread and to preserve thejuiees ofthe meat, while, inaddition tothe preservative action of the heat upon the dough, the fatwhich is driven oli" the meat into the dough serves to keep the lattermoist and fresh:

The uses of the article for the' provisioning of navies and armies, t'ortravelers, laborers, and exeursionists are obvious.

Having thus described my invention, I claim and desire. to secure byLetters Patent of the 5o United States Y A sa new article ofmanufacture,sandwiched` bread, or bread containing pieces ot' meat,which have been distributed in a raw condition throughout the dough ofwhich the bread is com posed and have been cooked at the same timetherewith, substantially as hereinbefore set forth.
